6 TIP-OFFS TO EARN MORE AS A FREELANCE WRITER

There are plenty of ways to earn a good living as a freelance writer. Some of the tried and tested ways to earn well as a freelance writer are,

1)      MAKE YOUR TIME COUNT: Your time is valuable because it is limited. Make sure you use it prudently. Don't spend more time composing an article than is necessary. Then, you'll be able to write more quickly and do more work in a given amount of time. Additionally, it raises your income. Improve your typing speed, don't proofread until you've completed writing your article or draught, and give yourself a deadline for research are all techniques to write more quickly.

2)      SET YOUR FEES WISELY: Make sure you have taken into account all expenses, time, and effort if you bill per project. A lot of challenging research is required for some projects; you may need to read challenging journal articles, reference news stories, conduct interviews, and possibly even visit the client's site to acquire information. You will need to account for the associated expenses as well as the additional time required outside of the writing process. You can adjust your charges as a result of this.

3)      PUT EFFORT IN YOUR COVER LETTERS: You will need to make an effort to make your cover letter stand out while pitching clients. Many writers are looking for employment. Customers only scan emails for a few seconds, therefore your email should have an attention-grabbing subject line and concisely written content.

You should find it easy as a writer to create a cover letter that stands out, but it's remarkable how few authors make the necessary effort when it comes to a cover letter or an opening paragraph when applying for jobs. A summary of your CV should not be included in your cover letter. Rather, explain to your clients why you are the best candidate for the position and the services you intend to provide. This demonstrates that you gave the project some thought.

4)      LOOK FOR HIGH-PAYING CLIENTS: This shouldn't be too challenging if you are working for clients in a lucrative area, like technology. On the other hand, it can take a little longer if you work for a small company before you can demand top pay. Researching potential clients' business incomes to determine how much they can afford to pay you is one writing advice that works well. If you contact companies that aren't doing well financially, they won't be able to afford to pay you much for your services. On the other hand, companies that are making money will be more willing to compensate you well as long as you produce quality work.

Finding clients is a skill that can be taught. You can look for clients in your social network, or you may need to adopt a different strategy. You can participate in online forums for the industries you have chosen. On websites for professional networking, you can look for clients. You can make your proposal to nearby companies. Businesses can fail to see the value of having a website or the need to update their material. If they offer you a job, you may respectfully explain the benefits of having a website and adding quality material to it.

5)      BE OPEN TO DIFFERENT TYPES OF ASSIGNMENTS: If someone asks you to write a press release, even if you may be searching for blog writing gigs, give it some thought. Additionally, independent authors might look into other potential sources of revenue. You don't have to rely just on one client or one writing opportunity to make money. When a specific client is unable to provide you with work, diversification is good for business and aids in getting through tough times. You can either start your own blog or contribute as a guest blogger. You can send your writing to journals and magazines.

Even a book can be published. You can also make a living by writing the text for greeting cards, book blurbs, and commercial slogans. Also, look out for writing competitions. By participating in these competitions, you can improve your writing, meet other authors, and perhaps even attract the attention of an editor or client. You could receive anything as part of the prize if you win, including cash and coupons.

6)      KEEP LEARNING NEW THINGS: Developing your skills is a lifetime process. If you already have writing expertise, you can develop your abilities in other fields like marketing, search engine optimization, and perhaps even illustration. For the busy writer, certain courses are an appealing alternative because they are reasonably priced and can be taken online. Pay increases for writers with specialised skill sets.
